Recycled Rubber Bands - Great Green Goods

There are a lot of us who would like to make an impact on the world, in some way or another. We’d like to make a contribution, change things for the better, improve lives, leave behind something positive. When I was training to be a Jedi knight back in the 70s, there was technique I learned called The Art of the Small. With it, I learned to narrow my focus … allowing me to use The Force to change things at a microscopic level

This tactic can be used today to tackle the many problems in the world. The trick is to start small. Help others, do little good things, and see what the impact of those things are. Never underestimate the power of putting a smile on someone’s face. That smile could change the person’s entire day, and they could go on to do something brilliant that in turn helps thousands of people. All because you did something small that put a smile on their face.

In that vein, I bring you recycled rubber bands:

Recycled Rubber Band Notecards

Rubber bands seem to come “free” with everything. And they multiply like rabbits in the junk drawer. Especially if you happen to purchase produce and flowers at the market.

Recycled Rubber Band Jewelry

Fantastic jewelry from recycled rubber bands created by an architect from NYC.

From the artist:
For the collection “Recycling of the Architectural Office” I am reusing paperclips, punched business cards, eyelids, rubber bands, mosaic stones, presentation wire binding elements, ribbons, etc. I find joy in creating new experiences in this unique way of working with materials, textures and colors.
